Nokia and NTT DoCoMo to use 5G and AI to monitor workers
Telco equipment maker Nokia, Japanese telco NTT DoCoMo, and industrial automation company Omron have agreed to conduct 5G trials at their plants and production sites. As part of the trial, the trio will look to couple 5G and artificial intelligence together to create "real-time coaching" for workers. "Machine operators will be monitored using cameras, with an AI-based system providing feedback on their performance based on an analysis of their movements," Nokia said in a statement. "This will help improve the training of technicians by detecting and analysing the differences of motion between more skilled and less skilled personnel." The trial will also test how reliable 5G is when the movement of people and background noise from machinery is involved.
